Adherents of the Repeated Meme

[syzygy_dw]

The movie meme:

1. Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb, and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

There's only one left! You can do it!

3) "My parents wanted to move me into high school out of the sixth grade, but we decided to chuck the idea because I'd have trouble making friends, blah, blah, blah.

8)  "Had my dream again where I'm making love, and the Olympic judges are watching. I'd nailed the compulsories, so this is it, the finals. I got a 9.8 from the Canadians, a perfect 10 from the Americans, and my mother, disguised as an East German judge, gave me a 5.6. Must have been the dismount. "
When Harry met Sally, guessed by nonelvis

9) "Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified."
The Wizard of Oz, guessed by eponymous_rose

10) "All I want to do is graduate from high school, move to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now that might not sound too great to a sconehead like you, but I think it's swell. And now you show up and tell me I'm a member of the hairy mole club so you can THROW things at me?"
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, guessed by eponymous_rose

4) Airplane?

11) Shakespeare in Love!

15) Dogma?

[syzygy-lj.livejournal.com]

You have 11 and 15 right, but 4 is waaaay off.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

1. is Serenity! Hooray!

2. is of course Ferris Bueller's Day Off

5. is The Princess Bride! (I keep running into people who've never seen it. It is a tragedy.)

6. is Spaceballs! (I need to watch that movie again...)

9. is The Wizard of Oz

10. is... the Buffy movie?

And that's all I can recognize off the top of my head! Good movie choices. :D

[syzygy-lj.livejournal.com]

You got every one right.

I can't believe there are still people out there who haven't seen The Princess Bride.

[nonelvis]

#4 is The Muppet Movie, and I am pretty sure #8 is When Harry Met Sally. And I know I know #5, but for some reason I just can't remember the name of the movie right now.

[syzygy-lj.livejournal.com]

You are correct on both counts. However, are you sure you don't know what #5 is? The title is written right underneath!

[nonelvis]

I meant #7. Whoops.

ETA: columbina just identified it as Terminator 2. Dammit, I knew it sounded familiar!

[syzygy-lj.livejournal.com]

I watched #7 last night, after I had put up the quote.
Columbina is absolutely correct. Credit where credit is due!

[syzygy-lj.livejournal.com]

Also: I wrote a paper on the Terminator movies in college. Terminator and Terminator 2: The Evolution of Sarah Connor.

I got an A.

I wish I still had it. It got lost not long after I got it back.

#12 is Breakfast at Tiffany's, I think.
#13 is Pirates of the Caribbean.
#14 is Wayne's World, and sadly enough probably the movie quote I use most day-to-day.

[syzygy-lj.livejournal.com]

Right, right, and right.

I quote Wayne's World, too. I am stuck in the 90s.
